organization or a member of the organization was a victim of a hate crime.
Additional Deatils
You must do research for the reason you are requesting the grant. So look at news articles and
find out what the threats are. Summarize each incident and cite your source.
In addition to the already pre-formatted grant application, I expect everyone to have a cover letter
that explains why the grant money is necessary. Again, do some research and use some good
government documents to explain the threats. Then you can go into specific incidents that happened there. Go over the specific items requested.
Another item that should be included is pictures of your target. If it is a church, google it. I want
pictures of each side and a picture from the top. I want to see those vulnerabilities. Is there
lighting? Are there cement blocks to prevent car rammings? These are the things you need to
think about. You need to see it to know what they are. You can make up some stuff, because you
just wont know. But for the most part, you will see so much from looking at it on the map.
